How Ivy beats Baba

Your game plan as Ivy

The partner. Ivy is twice as strong when she’s attached to the right ally.

Lane
Kudzu Connection with your lane partner gives you both bonuses. Entangling Thorns zones and slows.
Mid game

Late game
Stone Form is an emergency button and a stun. Use it when divers commit.

  • 02Track Brew’s cycle. Don’t fight inside the puddle when it’s about to silence.
  • 03Pressure Baba early, before Threadsap snowballs her Spirit.
